<div style="position:absolute;top:1581;left:58">wholeheartedness hints at something more than simple </div>

<div style="position:absolute;top:1907;left:58">ers constantly make mistakes. People become singers </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1927;left:58">by hearing mistakes and learning to correct them.” Or </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1947;left:58">to put it another way: How does one get to Carnegie </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1967;left:58">hall? Practice, practice and practice.   </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1995;left:58">Schell’s larger point is that we are shaped into a unique </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2015;left:58">liturgical and Eucharistic community by singing and </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2035;left:58">music. And that takes practice, perhaps not of the sort </div>

<div style="position:absolute;top:2174;left:58">theological implications of that statement but we </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2194;left:58">should tuck them in the back of our minds when we </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2214;left:58">unpack the distinctions one now commonly hears </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2233;left:58">about spirituality and religion: e.g., ‘I am spiritual but </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2253;left:58">not religious.’ To my mind those are inextricably inter-</div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2273;left:58">twined.  </div>

<div style="position:absolute;top:2361;left:58">found Schell’s testament to the community benefits so </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2381;left:58">interesting and compelling that I have copied out his </div>

<div style="position:absolute;top:2460;left:58">vidual level and for the congregation. </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1462;left:450">One of two fascinating aspects of our joint services for me</div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1482;left:450">was the diversity of musical expression among the four </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1502;left:450">parishes and how much the visiting congregations seemed </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1522;left:450">to enjoy this diversity. (The other aspect was the differ-</div>

<div style="position:absolute;top:1650;left:450">We also have had a tradition of strong congregational sing-</div>
